Ahh! Ya killin my bandwidth!! j/k Congrats on the line!  Looks very impressive man, I really liked the way you could hit up the steps and it never seemed to want to flip over backwards. Still didn't see any leveraging tho! ;) |

Hey Harvo is there a reason everyone else is running losi gold springs or whites at the stiffest with not allot of preload on all four corners and you have yellows on the back of yours with the preload run way down?

I was running them like you said (same as everyone else) but I find that this works better for climbing ledges at an angle, and works about the same for every other situation. | |

Great Video and Build.... The more and more I see these chassis's makes me want to build a BERG with this chassis.

Joe... Ron was kind of right with what he said. When climbing two vertical ledges in a row at an angle (like steps) the rear could drive under or the front would kick over on the face of the second ledge. The stiffer stuff in the rear keeps that from happening. The yellows I use are almost as soft as the whites and the preload I have set still allows for a little sag. |

Look at BOWTIES video at minute 4:03. That is what I'm talking about to some degree. Mine stopped doing that when I changed my springs. Last edited by Harvo; 11-04-2009 at 08:42 PM. | |

Thats waht I was thinking. I watched it at the last comp and could see a couple. But like I said if it works for him. And the reason I say this is because I have to comp with him once a month.

I finally got another set of Eddies foams delivered and put them on my Wheelworks Wheels with the Leopards. Until now I didn't have any foam tall enough, so the Leopards were too wide and wallowed around too much. This foam set up should give me much better results. Steve (Reflection) also sent me a set of Delrin beadlock rings and stainless slugs for his delrin wheels I have been using. It's always late when I take pictures of this stuff and the lighting is never good... But even in bad light, you can tell this is a sweet wheel setup I'll try and get some video when I test out the tire/foam/weight setup. These wheels give me a wider stance than my others but I run less weight with them also. SO I think my CG is about he same with both sets. |
